Me and my brother built on go cart. We use to live in John Rogers housing near the airport. My brother and I got some old lumber that we found for the frame and a wooden box for the body!! We used our old skates for the wheels!! We tied ropes at the ends of the front of the cart so that we could turn it left or right by pulling on it!! We added soda caps, coke, 7-up and root beer to make it look strike!! We also put smashed soda cans for the headlights!! Was nifty!!
We use to ride it on a cement slab that use to have a building on it!! One time my brother wanted to test my driving skills, so he pushed me real fast and POW, right into the wall !!! He cracked up laughing, he didn't care that my legs got bus up!! I wore lots of band-aids growing up( brothers choice of leg wear!!) We would ride for hours, I push him, he push me!! We stayed out till 5:00 ( that was our curfew) But when the day was over we laughed so hard when we talked about our day!! We had a blast, band-aids and all !!! I loved my childhood!! Them were the days!!
